Count me in.There was a guy on the other forum that fixed his own amps by getting the part at Radio Shack.

Amps are typically the Caps, but in some cases the ICs go

Would be great to have the DIY info as I have a second CD play to fix

Although Dr. Don does a great job.

I can do the amps those are easy, I just cant find any info on the head unit. There are lots of places that do it so it cant be awful. I know me and my oscilloscope can do it.

I hear what your saying but doesnt the "Ship it out resource" i.e. "Dr Dons" upgrade the CD unit to play ALL CDs? A repair normally involves replacing the Drive motor, Drive belt and swabbing the laser receiver spot with alcohol.

I would be more interested in seeing how the unit is upgraded. GC

Wait when you say play all Cds do you mean a MP3s also??

There are three articles on the registry that might help.

http://www.zr1netregistry.com/amp.htm
http://www.zr1netregistry.com/amp2.htm
http://www.zr1netregistry.com/Bose2.pdf

Also one on removing speakers.

I was looking at fixing my own but I managed to pick up a set of amps cheap on ebay so I am hoping I can just install those instead.

Thanks
